Vitamin E, is perhaps not the most important vitamin in dog food and canine nutrition. But getting to less or too much is not what you want either.

Basic information about the vitamin can therefore be of great value for you and you dog.

Most importantly is the use of tocopherol (vitamin E) in dog food as a preservative. Especially in many good quality commercial dog foods.

This fact is important if the dog food contains lots of essential fatty acids. Vitamin E protects them from being oxidized. Instead the vitamin itself is used. This can result in some vitamin e deficiency over time.

Extra vitamin E should be added to make up the "protecting fat use".

More important to be aware of this would be if you are adding extra fat on the food just before you give it to your dog. The dog food is not compensated for this extra fat in its vitamin e content. It could be advisable to use vitamin e supplementation in this case.
